A single long filename is not a problem... It is the combined
path/filename that becomes a problem. And It is not just a problem with
Python -- I've had Windows copy command fail when run recursively for the
same situation; either the source or destination path/name combination
becomes too long to handle.
One can "cd" down a few levels of the path, and then rename a directory
up to the root level -- then all subsequent paths are shorter.
